[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
I couldn't download the script but it looks interesting. not that I need it but understanding more ways to do it can be useful in the future. this is an easy bug to squash and I hope Google and manufacturers don't catch on. I'd like to see if it works on the gb leaks without having to use an insecure kernel.

Hm, what happens when you try to download the tarball? It downloads fine for me
[Kindle Fire General] Supercluster:
For my Kindle Fire:

Adb works on my desktop pc and that is what I have been using to adb. But my laptop doesn't see my kindle fire.

My laptop can see my android phone though. And works fine with it.

I installed the drivers from kindle fire utility, tried the others that people have been suggesting too. Still nothing for the fire.

The .inf file has all the right stuff for getting it to see a kindle fire. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers about 50 times and I can't see why it won't see it.

And KFU acts strange on my laptop. A lot of 'could not find specified file' etc.

I have Windows 7 64bit on my laptop. My desktop is 32bit which could be the difference.

What should I do?
[Kindle Fire General] ossom:
I have Windows 7 64bit as well on my laptop and I got it to work just fine.

Here are the two things that you need to get it to work.

1. Drivers

Find your driver file ("android_winusb.inf"). It could be in couple of places depending on how you installed them. Make sure that Google.NTx86 and google.NTamd64 sections have the following code.

;Kindle Fire

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006&MI_01

2. adb_usb.ini

You need to have 0×1949 somewhere in this file (%USERPROFILE%\.android\adb_usb.ini). You can easily add this by running this command in your command prompt.

echo 0×1949 >> “%USERPROFILE%\.android\adb_usb.ini”
[Kindle Fire General] Supercluster:
I tried it. Still nothing.

I have two .android folders. One in C:/ and the other in D:/

Could this be a problem?
[Kindle Fire General] thatoneguy99:
I had a similar issue but with a 32bit version of 7. My phone loaded up but my Kindle never would show using adb devices in command prompt. The fix for me was to Google and dowload the android sdk and install it. When I tried to open it it said something about Java runtime environment and other Java related things ( sorry I cant remember everything). After that it worked. I'd suggest starting at the sdk download and install. If that's doesn't help them I'm sorry. That was my experience. Good luck.
[Kindle Fire General] ossom:
Open Run window and type in %USERPROFILE%. We are talking about .ANDROID folder in there.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eins7ein:
I took my replacement phone into sprint today because the screen stopped working. They ended up putting the mother board from my new epic into my old epic they still had since it's screen still worked.

I had to take the phone into them rooted since I couldn't unroot it so my system updater was frozen. They ran some test on it and it failed them all. It was determined that my freezing system updater apk caused this. My phone number and msid were erased so they reactivated it. I was able to make a call while I was in the store. After I got home the phone works with my air rave but if I go outside I lose all signal. I also have only one to two bars when I'm sitting across the room from it.

I'm running sleeper rom 11 with shadow kennel 1.04.

I'm hoping some one will have some idea of what is going on. I can provide any other details if needed.

What happen is if failed to update your prl and so forth when you froze the system updater so this will clear that and should give you back your connection.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eins7ein:
I odined back to ec05 and rerooted with one click. Reflashed ei22 modem in cwm then my rom and kernel. Updated PRL and Profile successfully and rebooted. I got a 3g data connection back but signal strength is still weaker than before.

Could The antenna or something have gotten damaged when the tech repaired the phone or another software issue I can't come up with? Dialing *99 shows I'm connected to the air rave yet I can't get more than 2 bars even in the same room.

I'm also still curious if anyone knows anything about how the phone number and MSID would have gotten erased at the store.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LORDFIRE00:
Did they run an "rf transmit" test on it? All cellular radios have a frequency range like -100 - +500 for example. And if its anywhere outside that range, you will get that problem. That is caused from a damaged antenna.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eins7ein:
Is that something I could run from my phone from a dialer code with my msl?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidmaster1:
No..and if u haven't been taught how to do it, u can really do damage. U have to expose the board to do it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eins7ein:
Well I took it back today and it was the antenna. It failed all the tests for a reason after all. I don't blame him though I threw him for quite a loop when he couldn't update the prl or anything and I was in a hurry to leave.

This has been a funny experience overall. The tech and I got a good laugh out of my frankenphone. He had never had a phone come back within the 10 days they hold the broken phone and then have to give it back with the guts from the new one lol.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azyouthinkeyeiz:
Actually, from my time as a Sprint Tech. You should blame him. It was directly his fault. He either damaged or reversed the antenna cable. But, all he would have to do is replace the speaker assembly, because the antenna is wrapped around it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaMightyTom:
I just rebooted my Nexus and now it sits still at the Google logo.

I'm in desperate need of help.

I did install CWM and a custom ROM.

When I try to boot in recovery the device locks up and I have to pull the battery.

I have tried the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit, Fastboot commands to restore an stock image and do a factory reset.

For example.

C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (4760 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.456s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 0.551s

I'm out of options here. Anyone can give me a helping hand? its 02:30 AM and I need my alarm to go off at 6:30.

EDIT:

I am also getting a

Fastboot Command failed Read error -2147483647 in fastboot.

Also getting this.

C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb reboot-bootloader

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaMightyTom:
Am I the only one with this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cancerouspete:
well, i'll try to help some. your second box shows you 'fastboot devices', but then 'adb reboot - no device' - adb and fastboot are two different programs and operate at different points. if fastboot is recognizing your phone, you should be able to push a recovery. if the one you are using is giving you errors, try a different version, or download it again (maybe its corrupt?) i dont know, but i hope that helps you get back on track.

definitely read up through the stickies on fastboot use & adb use
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ogdobber:
it seems you flashed the wrong recovery. they are gms and lte specific. so go to the appropriate developer forum and get the right one.

next, fastboot only works when you are in the bootloader screen. adb is for when the phone is on or in recovery mode.

but, it looks like you don't have the right drivers for abd..

no matter, everything can be done in fastboot for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaMightyTom:
Flashed the wrong recovery?

I dont think so, I get this error no matter what I do.

I have tried flashing the recovery, flashing 3 different versions of the GSM stock firmware. flashing CMW recovery and manually flashing bootloader, radio from google stock firmware.

Nothing works. Too many links and the phone freezes in bootloader mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaMightyTom:
When pulling the battery I get a faint burning smell inside the device?

Could it be a hardware malfunction rather than a software?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaMightyTom:
I just installed ADB drivers on my laptop to no avail.

Same problem.

I can get into the bootloader, something It's frozen at start but sometimes I get contact and PDA recognises it, if I press the popup to connect Pda to the phone I get a Failed command inside the phone.

After any fastboot command like recovery or flash the phone returns unknown command or too many links and freezes.

have you tried putting it into download mode ( not bootloader ) and flashing via odin?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaMightyTom:
No not yet.

How can i do that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaMightyTom:
I have odin and the nexus in download mode.

Now before I do anything, is there a nice neat guide how to install factory settings with everything?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Goat_For_Sale:
yea i am sure there is if you search i have seen a few odin threads around. sorry to busy right now to hunt it down for you ( at work )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaMightyTom:
Okey so i found this.

http://samsung.de/de/Privatkunden/M...nexus/GT-I9250TSADBT/detail.aspx?atab=support

Original firmware for the nexus. Seems to be an Exe file with implemented odin or something.

Anyways I ran it. It got stock on Write Nand or something. I googled it and someone suggested I would pull the battery and try it again.

Now I got a

phone --> Triangle --> computer once I put the battery in. I can't access download mode or bootloader mode but the computer recognises the phone once i plug it in.

EDIT:

Actually when I plug it in it spazzes out like something is plugging it in and plugging it out all the time. The device manager is flickering since its updating.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaMightyTom:
Plugging it in the computer then putting the batteri in seems to made Odin find it again.

can you get into bootloader? recovery ?

No. recovery havent worked since the start of the problem. Only bootloader and download mode.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] silow:
That screen means your phone is borked in all kinds of places. Hopefully you can still get into Download Mode with Vol- & Power button.

Try the following: you'll need to do a some work yourself. Grab the bootloader.img and recovery.img from the Google YAKJU ICL53F (4.0.2) sources. Then go to this thread and download the YAKJU ODIN tar from there. Note that this tar does not contain the bootloader or recovery which you will need because the copies on your phone does not seem good at this point. The ODIN tar is just a tarball of images. Take the bootloader.img and recovery.img from the Google images and tar it up with the other images from that thread. Personally I use 7zip on Windows for all my compression needs.

Then follow the instructions from that thread on how to perform the ODIN flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seven2099:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaMightyTom:
do you mean boot.img or the maguro bootloader img before the image rar?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaMightyTom:
What i wrote was in no way meant as disrespect to any of you.

I might have thought there were a different forum or section which i should have posted at for troubleshooting.

Q&A could mean general question. Not a place for someone like me that borked his phone into oblivion can get help.

sorry if the post had the wrong tone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] silow:
The maguro bootloader. The boot.img is the boot scripts and kernel setup that the bootloader loads to start the phone. The package in that thread I linked has stripped the bootloader, recovery, and user data images.

You will want these these in a tarball package for ODIN. You can pull them from the Google images and/or from that thread. In either case they need to be named like the following for ODIN to recognize them.

bootloader.img

recovery.img

boot.img

system.img

radio.img

userdata.img
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaMightyTom:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] silow:
Leave it for a bit and see if anything happens?

Due to the errors you were receiving from Fastboot and you already trying it on different computers/usb ports, it leads me to believe that your phone may have faulty hardware.

ODIN is pretty much last resort if you can't get your phone to communicate properly with Fastboot and if that doesn't work your SOL.

Also I wanted to add that I haven't tried ODIN flashing on this phone yet but when I had the Vibrant it was very finicky. I had to launch ODIN cleanly (closing all open instances of ODIN and not having the phone plugged in), plug the phone in while off, then putting it in Download mode and making sure ODIN picked it up on a COM port before I could cleanly flash.

You may also want to try the many different versions of ODIN out there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaMightyTom:
Since I have tried 2 different odins now with two different methods (one click and assemble of the tar yourself)

I think its over.

Also having the faint smell of something that have burnt inside the phone might be the cause.

Thanks everyone trying to help.

Hopefully I can return it without alot of hassle.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaMightyTom:
Nexus returned after som bickering at the store.

But money returned, too bad they were out of stock.

Again thanks everyone trying to help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elhomer90:
final hope

Alright dudes i was getting the same error "fastboot failed" or what ever when trying to root, not flash recovery, but im assuming its the same communication issue. after installing the proper nexus tool kit i went into fastboot (power+vol up+ vol down) plugged it in . on my computer (win7) went to device manager>android phone what ever is under it in the drop down menu right click it , uninstall . unplug phone, restart fastboot mode and plug it back in. should install "android 1.0" driver after all that try flashing.

worked for me. hopefully it does to some of you.

cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rikkochet:
FWIW, I had this same problem and am pretty sure I resolved it on my end.

When trying to flash a new recovery, I would get something like:

sending 'recovery' (5520 KB)...
FAILED (data transfer failure (Too many links))
finished. total time: 0.302s

or

sending 'recovery' (5520 KB)...
FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 0.644s

I also experienced constant issues accessing my phone via Windows Explorer when connected by USB. Sometimes it would just hang, other times I'd try copying files to the phone and get a 'File Transfer Aborted' error from Windows. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't.

My motherboard (Gigabyte H67A-UD3H-B3) has 2 USB controllers. My USB2 controller is reported as an Intel 6 Series/C200 chipset. My USB3 controller is by Renesas.

Plugged into a USB2 port, these issues kept coming back. In desperation, I moved my Nexus to the USB3 port - problems have vanished.

For those with this problem (this is the #1 Google hit for "galaxy nexus fastboot failed (too many link)"), I suggest updating your USB controller drivers, if any are available. When that fails, see if your system has a secondary USB controller and throw the phone into that port and give it a try.

DaMightyTom reported issues on 2 separate computers, but it's possible both computers had the same USB chipset (or two different ones with the same fundamental issue).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deemson:

Damn! Just the same had happened to me. just the same! And this is how the screen looks when fastbooting or odin and the phone becomes hot (warm). Sorry for my english! Need help!
